With the Sino-US war and the science and technology war coming to an end, the international conferences held by China have become more diverse and creative. After the success of the CIIE held last year, China's first first-class chain expo was held in Beijing. The expo covers five key chains, covering the most important sectors of today, such as smart cars, digital technology, green agriculture, clean energy and healthy living. Exhibitors showcased their unique advantages in different segments by showcasing their products, technologies and services. What is surprising is that although the United States has been advocating the so-called "decoupling and breaking the chain", there are a large number of American companies participating in the exhibition, accounting for more than 20% of the total number of foreign companies, including Apple, Amazon, HP, Intel and many other well-known manufacturers. It can be seen from the recent developments that the Chinese side has made a lot of preparatory work in order to host this expo. As the first event, the Chinese side planned and planned from scratch to ensure a sufficient number and quality of exhibitors. Therefore, China has carried out pilot cooperation with six countries, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, Malaysia, Italy and Spain, in advance on the unilateral visa-free policy, and provided visa-free entry for business personnel from these countries, which provides great convenience for enterprises interested in cooperating with China and participating in the Expo. In addition, given the current situation of the Sino-US dispute and technology blockade, many American companies have doubts about investing in China. It is precisely in order to solve this problem that the Chinese leader attended a dinner with a number of American giants during the APEC summit, personally explained China's concept of open and inclusive cooperation, and dispelled the concerns of American companies. It can be said that the Chinese side has made a lot of efforts to make this expo a success.
The reason why China actively holds the **Chain Expo is because of the choice of comprehensively considering the international situation and its own development. With the continuous strengthening of Sino-foreign cooperation, China, as the world's factory, has accumulated a surplus of 877 billion US dollars in the past year. However, the increase in China's surplus also means the expansion of the deficit of other countries, that is, the number of goods imported from China has increased, but the number of goods exported to China is relatively small. This is a major challenge for many countries to cooperate with China. Therefore, China's initiative is aimed at taking the initiative to reduce the surplus and solve the biggest obstacle to cooperation with other countries. In addition, despite the easing of relations between China and the United States, the economic blockade and technological blockade of China by the United States still exist. Therefore, by strengthening cooperation with different countries, China can effectively reduce the risk of disruption caused by political or economic conflicts, and create a more balanced and diversified international system for the international community. At the same time, strengthening cooperation with other countries can not only promote the development and strengthening of China's internal chain, especially in key technologies and important raw materials, but also enhance China's independent innovation capabilities and effectively respond to the external blockade imposed on China by the United States and Western countries.
China's ** chain expo not only attracted the attention of the American business community, but even caused Biden's "worries", so that Biden also began to imitate China's approach and carry out relevant ** chain meetings. The day before the opening of the Chinese Expo, Biden announced the establishment of a new "White House ** Chain Resilience Committee" at the White House and held its first meeting. The committee's goal is to reduce costs for U.S. households, implementing more than 30 new measures to strengthen the U.S. ** chain. The committee is chaired by adviser Jake Sullivan and economic advisers, and includes ministers in charge of various ministries such as agriculture, commerce, defense, energy, transportation, and intelligence. The U.S. goal is to address the risks posed by the chain vulnerability, mainly in key areas such as pharmaceuticals and semiconductors. China, as the main destination of U.S. pharmaceutical products, and Taiwan, China's important position in global semiconductor production, have brought huge geopolitical risks to the United States. The newly established committee and meeting are held for the first time, and the time was deliberately chosen before the Chinese Expo, which makes people suspect that Biden's behavior is improvised, following in China's footsteps.
At the same time, according to the plan of the United States, they will cooperate with their allies, such as Japan and South Korea to activate early warning systems, and cooperate in critical minerals and high-tech fieldsSolve the problem of drug shortage with Australia, Canada and other countries. It can be seen that the partners in the US plan are mainly its so-called allies, which shows the typical practice of the US side to pull small circles.
In short, on the issue of the ** chain, the purpose of China and the United States is different. China's goal is to strengthen cooperation with other countries, promote its own development, and provide development opportunities for all countries in the world, so as to truly achieve openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation. However, the goal of the US side is still to establish its own hegemonic status, and it is a typical egoist, and such an approach will not go far.
